Wednesday: Saw Miguel's
talk; much made sense. Rik van Riel
and bcrl's
talk on Linux
MM was excellent. They did a fantastic job of covering
all of the MM territory, discussing throughput and latency
in a member of contexts. Their talk was geared well to the
audience, IMHO; I was rather suprised that both khemicals
and I took quite so much away from the talk (a credit to the
presentation abilities of riel and bcrl).

Yesterday: Saw talks by tytso (filesystems), willy (Linux on
PA-RISC), sct (ext3) and the ARPsec talk. Enjoyed the first
three; especially sct's talk (I have been using ext3 for a
couple months now and it has been working out well; so well,
in fact, that I gave wife root on one of the boxes and am
much less concerned with her mucking the fs in the event
that she does not do a proper shutdown.). I have an HP
715/100 sitting at home which I'll be delving into when I
return home from OLS.

Today: Stayed up late to work on some code and discussion
with snippy and
khemicals
after dinner with that pair and snippy's girlfriend. Ottawa
is a fun place. Got up late and plan to attend the sessions
after lunch (and make especially sure to be around for the
pgp/gpg keysigning bit at 5pm).
